I
think the most important environmental issue is Fracking. It does damage to the
environment, families, and the over all ecosystem. Fracking is by far the most
dangerous of all the methods of getting energy. The lawyers say that it safe
for all of the people in the area. They deny any claim of the water being
flammable and turning to plastic as their fault. The wastewater from the
fracking is being dumped into streams and fields illegally. Hydraulic Fracturing
wastes an exorbitant amount of water. There are 400-600 tankers full of
hydraulic fracking water sent to each well. Two hundred to four hundred trucks
of water are left in the ground. They seep into the ground and the water is
sprayed into the air to evaporate it. The water itself is infused with several
life threatening and deadly chemicals. These chemicals leak into the whole water
table for an ecosystem. Animals and people are getting incredibly sick from all
of the diseases and problems it is causing. Animals are reducing in weight and
losing hair patches. The water coming out of the faucet is flammable and could
easily blow up a house. The people who drink the water are given defects that
will travel through them and their children. This is why in my opinion Fracking
is by far the worst way to power the planet
I agree that fracking is the worst way to power the planet too. From you blog, "The lawyers say that it safe for all of the people in the area", this reminds me of in the movie Gasland. The politician wouldn't drink the water sample, but still said it was safe.
ReplyDeleteFracking? Pause.. Rewind.. Fracking? How many people are actually affected by fracking? Not a lot in comparison to foreign and domestic oil. Hydraulic fracturing only affect certain regions where this is going on. Almost everyone uses oil. And when a disaster does happen, something like 200 million gallons spills into the Gulf of Mexico leaving thousands without jobs and countless dead animals.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with both of you guys and say that Nuclear is the worst way to power the planet because once radiation seeps into the land, then it will be there forever and never come out.
ReplyDeleteI disagree with you. I think that nuclear is the worst way to power the planet. I say this because, with fracking you eventually get sick. But, with nuclear baby are born sick.
ReplyDeleteI chose Nuclear for the most important, but your enticing information says otherwise..
ReplyDeleteeven though i disagree with the stament that you provided it is well backed up.
ReplyDeleteYou gave valid points that changed my mind about fracking. Even if I still think oil is the worst, I see fracking as more of a contender to being the worst then I did before.
